PSL 2024: Peshawar Zalmi Schedule, Fixture, Full Squad, Captain, and Probable Playing 11

Peshawar Zalmi Schedule, Fixture, Full Squad, Captain, and Probable Playing 11: When it comes to the Pakistan Super League, Peshawar Zalmi has been one of the most loved franchises with the most number of fans. The 2017 PSL Champions are looking much more stable and confident with the addition of a couple of new members to the squad and here we are with the Peshawar Zalmi Schedule, Fixture, Full Squad, Captain, and Probable Playing 11.

The ninth edition of the Pakistan Super League, Pakistan’s primary franchise T20 event, began on February 17, 2024. This season looks to be another captivating affair with six franchises vying for the title, owing to the injection of experienced, Promising, and fresh talents.

In 2017, Peshawar Zalmi won their first-ever Pakistan Super League (PSL) championship. But they still are waiting for their second title. Peshawar missed out on a second title in 2018 after losing to Islamabad United by three wickets in the final match. Zalmi advanced to the final of the 2019 tournament but was defeated by the Quetta Gladiators.

They have qualified for the playoffs in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 but failed to go the distance of the glory.

With Babar Azam at the helm, Zalmi’s batting lineup looked very capable, while their bowling lineup was a little bit lackluster. They have a few new players in their lineup, and compared to the previous year, they appear to be a lot more well-rounded group.

Ahead of the 2024 season, Zalmi added some intriguing players to their roster. West Indies speedster Shamar Joseph is anticipated to improve the Zalmi team following an amazing showing in the Gabba test.

Waqar Salamkheil, an Afghan left-arm leg spinner, took Noor Ahmad’s spot in the squad. Although Waqar is an inexperienced player, he showed potential with the Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League last season, taking 11 wickets at an average of 17.73.

Another promising prospect to keep an eye on is Dan Mousley, who led Warwickshire in wicket-taking during the T20 Blast of the previous year.

Prominent for their power-hitting abilities, Tom-Kohler Cadmore, Rovman Powell, Asif Ali, Saim Ayub, and Mohammad Haris are among the explosive players in Zalmi’s batting order. Babar, the captain, gives this squad balance and solidity. They have the problem of having an abundance of options in the batting area, which is always a plus.

Zalmi’s bowling resources, though, appear to be lacking. Unlike the batting order, they have a weaker reserve in their bowling lineup. In the previous season, Zalmi mostly depended on Naveen-ul-Haq and Noor Ahmad of Afghanistan, but with the addition of Shomar Joseph and Waqar Salamkheil, they have become a more formidable team.

Along with Khurram Shahzad, Umair Afridi, Mohammad Zeeshan, Mehran Mumtaz, Salman Irshad, and Arif Yaqoob, the former PSL winners possess some interesting local talent.

Down below is the Peshawar Zalmi Schedule, Fixture, Full Squad, Captain, and Probable Playing 11:
